The growing demand for celery during the late winter months has recently brought about considerable improvement in the con- struction of storage houses; and as has been suggested, this matter is intimately associated with the disease question. The original type of root house, which I have not seen in New York, was essentially a rail coop. Upon the rails, slraw and earth, or manure, were placed in sufficient quantity to k* ep out cold and moisture. Trade demands soon necessitated the form seen in Figs. 54. 55, 56, for the storage of celery. This form is well known, and the construction of this is easily made out with the aid of Fig. 56, which is an interior view. The-e houses are usually provided with double doors at both ends, two or more.
